ROUSSEAU, Jean Jacques: Emilius; or, an essay on education.
By John James Rousseau, citizen of Geneva. Translated from the French by Mr Nugent. London, printed for J Nourse and P Vaillant, 1763. Two vols, 8vo, 6 engraved plates, (4) + xiv + (2) + 406 + (2) and (4) + 406 + (38)pp, complete with the two half- titles and final advertisement leaf in vol.I, original boards, sometime neatly rebacked. A fine copy. Photograph available on request. First edition in English. First published the previous year in French, the impact of this book on the history of Western education cannot be over-estimated, the fact that it was frequently translated bearing witness to the dissemination of its ideas. The English translator was Thomas Nugent who was also responsible for translations of works by Voltaire and Montesquieu. He was, in the words of DNB 'a competent scholar and an able and industrious man of letters'. 'One may justly hail Rousseau as the discoverer of the child ... He emphasised that the prime factor to be considered in education is the child and his present nature as a child ... and expressed the view that education is a continuous process which begins at birth ...'. Curtis and Boultwood p.264ff. Here too in 'Emile' is Rousseau's famous attack on the concept of original sin ; 'the first impulses of nature are always right; there is no original sin in the human heart, and how and why of the entrance of every vice can be trac ed.' This was in exact opposition to previous educational writers who held that children were naturally contaminated and that the main object of moral education was to suppress the child's natural impulses and substitute good habits in their place. 'Few books have had a greater immediate effect on English educational thought than Rousseau's 'Emile'. Coming at a time when new stirrings disturbed the calm waters of 18thC English education, its ideas fused with those of radical and scientific thinkers to create new insights into children, into methods of teaching, and the scope of the educational process, and these gave new directions to English educational thought. Modern educational methods in England have their origin in the emergence in the late 18thC of a new school of theorists who took 'Emile' as their guide ... The main appeal of 'Emile', however, lay in its repudiation of dogmas that were thought to fetter human development ... its originality lay in the fact that it was the first comprehensive attempt to describe a system of education according to nature. The key idea of the book was the possibility of preserving the original perfect nature of the child by means of the careful control of his education and environment ...'. Stewart and McCan p.23-8.

MALTHUS (T. R.): A Letter to the Rt. Hon. Lord Grenville Occasioned by Some Observations
of his Lordship on the East India Company's Establishment for the Education of their Civil Servants, First Edition, 38pp 8vo, modern half calf antique style, good, London, Johnson, 1813. Goldsmith 20734. Photograph available on request. The great political economist and population theorist Malthus was an important professional educator. He taught at Haileybury College as Professor of History and Economics from 1805 until his death in 1834. The College had been attached as "a baneful institution" by Granville since it appeared to be so specialist in training the East India Company's civil service that it simply formed its pupils "into a caste". Grenville's case was that the East India Company should draw its officers from several different public schools, not train specialist force. Malthus came to the defence of his beloved College with this specific rejoinder: "A public school and three years residence at one of our universities may be decidedly the best education for an English statesman; but for an Indian statesman, who must be acquired with the oriental languages, and habituated to Indian customs and manners before he loses his pliability, there is evidently not time for such a course, the oriental languages are best taught in the East; but languages alone are not a sufficient qualification for the administration of the British government in India, and general knowledge is best taught in the west." Malthus moreover defends the very wide range of the curriculum devised at Haileybury. "It was imagined that some of the pursuits that contribute to form this variety were of too difficult a nature for young men of the age above mentioned [sixteen—seventeen]; and the subject of political economy was considered as one. I confess that I once thought so myself. But the particular examples, which I have witnessed, of distinguished progress in this study at the East India College, and the numerous instances of very fair progress, enable me to say with confidence that a youth of seventeen (and this is the most usual age at which the study is begun, as it is generally confined to the last year or year and a half) with a good understanding, is fully able to comprehend the principles of political economy, and is rarely inclined to think them either too difficult or too dull to engage his attention." Finally, and most significantly in terms of the history of educational innovation, Malthus describes the procedure of a competitive examination, as practiced at the College: "The answers are, in all cases which will admit of it, given in writing in the presence of the professors, and without the possibility of a reference to books. After the examination in any particular department is over, the professor in that department reviews at his leisure all the papers which he has received, and places, as nearly as he can, each individual in the numerical order of his relative merit, and in certain divisions implying his degree of positive merit. These arrangements are all subject to the control of the whole collegiate body. They require considerable time and attention, and are executed with scrupulous care and, I firmly believe, with singular impartiality." (Book ref. 13784) £2100.00

large folio, which comprises seven Royal Commission inquiry Reports, providing an exhaustive map of all levels and facets of the educational system at several stages of its evolution. The commissions covered education in England, Scotland and Wales. The issues which they clarified are as important now as they were then; the nature and function of education, the roles of church and state in education, teaching methodology the teacher training, education administration, technical and vocational education. * PHOTOGRAPHS & FURTHER DETAILS OF CONTENTS AVAILABLE ON REQUEST. There are approximately 5,000 British Parliamentary Papers for the period 1800 to 1900 - a mountain of source material that, however, because of its traditional chronological arrangement, has been difficult to access. The Irish University Press programme of facsimile reprints of these papers overcame this by commissioning academic specialists to select the most important papers and group them on the principle of 32 subject sets in the folio size of the originals. This series was published c.1960-1972. All the volumes are strongly bound in the publisher's original half green morocco leather with the exception of 25 volumes which are bound in the publisher's matching green buckram . They are designed to outlast generations of heavy use and wear and have the great advantage over the original printings because on a strong laid acid free paper. Reproductions of original maps and other illustrations are included throughout the series. Each volume now offered has neat library stamp on front endpaper and verso title, otherwise entirely unmarked and in excellent condition.

PHOTOGRAPHS SENT ON REQUEST. The West Riding proprietary school, for which a spacious building, capable of receiving 250 scholars, was erected in 1833, after a design by Richard Lane, Esq., of Manchester, was established by a company of proprietors with a capital of £15,000. The text describes the detailed workings of the school, rules and regulations, its educational ethos, its library and even gives the names of its first pupils. It is a fascinating record of a school specially designed to meet the needs and aspirations of children of the newly emerging middle classes who did not qualify for charity schools or afford the fees of the great Public Schools. It was staffed by a principal and eight other masters. It had an annual scholarship of £25 per annum, tenable for three years at Oxford or Cambridge. A further publication from the school was: "Fugitive pieces, in prose and verse. By Pupils of the West-Riding Proprietary School," 1838. (Book ref. 20489) £450.00
